Trudeau says he won't get into finger-pointing over speed of Canada's vaccine rollout | FULL

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Tuesday that he would not get into finger-pointing with provinces over the COVID-19 vaccine distribution amid frustrations and criticism over the speed of the rollout, but said he would help when asked.

Trudeau made the comments during a COVID-19 briefing alongside Health Minister Patty Hajdu, Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc, chief public health officer Dr. Theresa Tam and deputy chief public health officer Dr. Howard Njoo.

Hajdu responded to questions about the potential of "vaccine passports" in order to travel internationally, saying that while this was not the time for travel, they were engaging with international partners to ensure when the time comes people will have documents they require to travel outside the country.

Trudeau and Tam also announced that the country has seen 10 million vaccines delivered to provinces and territories, surpassing the original milestone of six million deliveries by the end of March.

Canada’s total number of confirmed infections surpassed one million on Saturday.

Well it helps to not point fingers, if all the fingers are pointed at you

[hughmann]

He is 100% responsible for the shortages and the deaths it keeps causing!

[kenprouse]

He doesn’t have to point fingers at anyone, all he has to do is look in the mirror, he is the one who frittered away the chance to get vaccines for Canada. The provinces can’t give shots we don’t have. Time to man up little boy!

Why do they keep repeating the rules to stay safe during this when they know a lot of people aren't going to listen?

The Canadian Prime Minister’s suggestion that a traveler returning to Canada should be quarantined in a hotel for three days for $ 2, 000, in addition to a corona test is an unfair measure and an indirect obstruction to the right to travel.
What is meant by these measures, and is this how the pandemic is being combated?
What does this mean for the traveller? They have to spend three days in the hotel and 14 days if they are infected with Covid-19? They have to pay for the hotel's guesthouse.
By what right do you take this huge money from the traveler?
Unless it was public piracy under the pretext of a pandemic!
These decisions and instructions put pressure on the citizen’s psyche in addition to the health and economic problems he/she suffers from, instead of solving their problems. All of this is a violation and an infringement of human rights by placing obstacles and preventing human movement.
More realistic measures must be taken that take into account the special situation of the pandemic and the economic and social situation. Also, some politicians incite against foreigners and accuse them of causing infection to the country, and this is pure fabrication and evidence of the high rate of racism in Canada, unfortunately.
